List three things you do not understand about the world or people. Start your lines with "I don't understand...", "I cannot believe...", or a similar thought. Then name the thing you do not understand most of all. End the poem with an example of something you DO understand.
“Life’s not that difficult…” I cannot comprehend Why some think the world “owes” them when they haven’t earned anything And then blame everyone else for their lack of effort
I feel sorry for those who ridicule the inner strength of others while they secretly yearn for it themselves but won’t sacrifice the time to find that peace.
I don't understand why love is taken for granted why anger is a way of life why some people just ignore what’s beautiful in life and whine when they have everything they could want.
But most of all why some can’t see the pain they cause and laugh at the word “abuse” why people ignore children the very gift from God above why some try to “buy” love and respect at any cost.
What I understand most is why smiles are contagious how bonds are formed without effort why people yearn to be loved deeply why living in truth is fulfillment.

“Life’s not that difficult…”
I cannot comprehend
Why some think the world “owes” them
when they haven’t earned anything
And then blame everyone else for their lack of effort
I feel sorry for
those who ridicule the inner strength of others
while they secretly yearn for it themselves
but won’t sacrifice the time to find that peace.
I don't understand
why love is taken for granted
why anger is a way of life
why some people just ignore what’s beautiful in life
and whine when they have everything they could want.
But most of all
why some can’t see the pain they cause
and laugh at the word “abuse”
why people ignore children the very gift from God above

why smiles are contagious
how bonds are formed without effort
why people yearn to be loved deeply
why living in truth is fulfillment.
